Chinese New Version (Simplified)
所罗门往基遍献祭(A)
1 大卫的儿子所罗门巩固了他对以色列的统治，耶和华他的 神也和他同在，使他十分尊大。 2 所罗门召唤全体以色列人、千夫长、百夫长、审判官、以色列的各领袖和众家族的首领。 3 所罗门和全体会众一同到基遍的高地去，因为那里有 神的会幕，就是耶和华的仆人摩西在旷野所做的。 4 至于 神的约柜，大卫已经从基列．耶琳抬到他预备好的地方，因为他曾在耶路撒冷为约柜盖搭了一个帐幕。 5 户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列所做的铜祭坛也在那里，在耶和华的会幕前面；所罗门和会众同去求问耶和华。 6 所罗门上到耶和华会幕前面的铜祭坛旁边，在坛上献上了一千只燔祭牲。
所罗门祈求智慧(B)
7 那一夜， 神向所罗门显现，对他说：“你无论求甚么，我必赐给你。” 8 所罗门对 神说：“你曾经向我的父亲大卫大施慈爱，使我接续他作王。 9 耶和华 神啊，现在求你实现你向我的父亲大卫应许的话；因为你立了我作王统治这好象地上的尘土那么多的人民。 10 现在求你赐我智慧和知识，使我可以领导这人民；否则，谁能治理你这众多的人民呢？” 11 神对所罗门说：“你既然有这个心意：不求富足、财产、尊荣，也不求你敌人的性命，又不求长寿，只为自己求智慧和知识，好治理我的子民，就是我立你作王统治的人民， 12 因此，智慧和知识必赐给你，我也把富足、财产和尊荣赐给你；在你以前的列王从没有这样，在你以后的也必没有这样。”
所罗门的兵力与财富(C)
13 于是，所罗门从基遍高地的会幕（按照《马索拉文本》，“从基遍高地的会幕”作“到基遍的高地，从会幕”；现参照《七十士译本》和《武加大译本》翻译）回到耶路撒冷，统治以色列。
14 所罗门召集了战车和马兵：他有战车一千四百辆，马兵一万二千名；他把这些车马安置在囤车城，或在耶路撒冷，和王在一起。 15 王在耶路撒冷积存的金银好象石头那么多，积存的香柏木好象平原的桑树那么多。 16 所罗门拥有的马，都是从埃及和古厄运来的，是王的商人从古厄照价买来的。 17 他们从埃及运上来的车，每辆价银六千八百四十克；马每匹一千七百一十克。赫人众王和亚兰众王的车马，也都是这样经这些商人的手买来的。

Solomon Worships at Gibeon
1 (A)Solomon the son of David established himself in his kingdom, (B)and the Lord his God was with him and made him exceedingly great.
2 Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the (C)commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to all the leaders in all Israel, the heads of fathers' houses. 3 And Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to (D)the high place that was at Gibeon, (E)for (F)the tent of meeting of God, which Moses the servant of the Lord had made in the wilderness, was there. 4 (G)(But David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to the place that David had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.) 5 Moreover, (H)the bronze altar that (I)Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of the Lord. And Solomon and the assembly (J)sought it[a] out. 6 And Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before the Lord, which was at the tent of meeting, (K)and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.
Solomon Prays for Wisdom
7 (L)In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, “Ask what I shall give you.” 8 And Solomon said to God, “You have shown great and steadfast love to David my father, (M)and have made me king in his place. 9 O Lord God, (N)let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous (O)as the dust of the earth. 10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge to (P)go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 11 God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for (Q)possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king, 12 wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you (R)riches, possessions, and honor, (S)such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.” 13 So Solomon came from[b] the (T)high place at Gibeon, from before (U)the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem. And he reigned over Israel.
Solomon Given Wealth
14 (V)Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen. (W)He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, whom he stationed (X)in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem. 15 And the king made silver and gold as common in Jerusalem as stone, and he made cedar as plentiful as the sycamore of the Shephelah. 16 And Solomon's import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king's traders would buy them from Kue for a price. 17 They imported a chariot from Egypt for 600 shekels[c] of silver, and a horse for 150. Likewise through them these were exported to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Syria.

Solomon Asks for Wisdom
1 Solomon was David’s son, and he became a powerful king. This was because the Lord his God was with him. The Lord made Solomon very great.
2 Solomon spoke to all the people of Israel. He spoke to the commanders of 100 men and of 1,000 men. He spoke to the judges, to every leader in all Israel and to the leaders of the families. 3 Then Solomon and all the people gathered with him went to the place of worship. This was at the town of Gibeon. God’s Meeting Tent was there. Moses, the Lord’s servant, had made that Tent in the desert. 4 David had brought the Ark of the Covenant with God from Kiriath Jearim to Jerusalem. David had made a place for it there. He had set up a tent for it in Jerusalem. 5 Bezalel was Uri’s son, and Uri was Hur’s son. Bezalel had made a bronze altar. It was in Gibeon in front of the Holy Tent. So Solomon and the people worshiped the Lord there. 6 Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord at the Meeting Tent. He offered 1,000 burnt offerings on the altar.
7 That night God appeared to Solomon. God said, “Solomon, ask for whatever you want me to give you.”
8 Solomon answered, “You have been very kind to my father David. You have chosen me to be the king in his place. 9 Now, Lord God, may your promise to my father David come true. You have made me king of a very large nation. There are so many of them they are like the dust of the earth. 10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge so I can lead these people in the right way. No one can rule them without your help.”
11 God said to Solomon, “What you want is good. I have chosen you to be king of these people. You have not asked for wealth or riches or honor. You have not asked for your enemies to be killed. You have not asked for a long life. But you have asked for wisdom and knowledge to lead my people. 12 So I will give you wisdom and knowledge. I will also give you more wealth, riches and honor than any king who has lived before you. And the kings who will live after you will not have as much.”
13 Then Solomon left the place of worship at Gibeon. He left the Meeting Tent and went back to Jerusalem. There King Solomon ruled over Israel.
Solomon’s Wealth
14 Solomon gathered horses and chariots. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horses. He put some horses and chariots in the cities where the chariots were kept. And he kept some with him in Jerusalem. 15 In Jerusalem, Solomon gathered much silver and gold. He got so much it was as common as rocks. He also gathered much cedar wood. It became as plentiful as the sycamore trees on the western mountain slopes. 16 Solomon imported horses from Egypt and Kue. The king’s traders bought the horses in Kue. 17 They imported a chariot from Egypt for about 15 pounds of silver. And they imported a horse for nearly 4 pounds of silver. Then they sold the horses and chariots to all the kings of the Hittites and the Arameans.
